I can't count how many times the GT-R/Corvette/Porsche folks have gone back and forth about which car was better based on a lap time at that location. To each their own I guess.
I was set to order a 1SS camaro,not happy though on MSRP or above according to local dealer. I pulled out,and am going to get an 08 Shelby GT500 for $43000 in canada,the prices are dropping nicely. I'm putting on eibach springs and cai from the dealer,and think it will match up quite well against any car. I do love the photo of your GT500!
I do hope the Camaro and Challenger survive and sell great!
